Date: 12/03/2018Monday 12th March, 9:00am. Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre continues efforts in contacting several boat owners due to multiple reports of boats sinking or broken from moorings due to last week’s high winds. Wind gusts at BMOC (Fort George) were recorded at 80+ knots resulting in over 14 calls to the Rescue Coordination Centre and subsequent calls to vessel owners. These incidents highlight once again the need for vessel owners to ensure that all contact information held at the Boats & Moorings section is current, allowing for a rapid response and potentially reducing further damage and additional cost to vessel owners.
